Bulgaria and Greece start building gas interconnector

Bulgaria and Greece signed on 10 December 2015 a final investment agreement to build a natural gas pipeline aiming to help Bulgaris reduce its almost complete reliance on Russian gas supplies.

The pipeline aims to tap gas from Azerbaijan, and was expected to also be able to carry gas from Greece's liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal after 2018, when it was expected to become operational.

Media reported in December 2016 that five offers had been submitted for the use of this natural gas pipeline.
